Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, and we've designed the system with the capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity. This role is for an experienced, self-directed individual who will work on development hardware to meet the needs of Amazon Leo. You'll partner directly with design engineers to iterate hardware quickly and qualify it for space, following that hardware through the full arc of development — initial prototyping, development builds, testing, and rigorous qualification testing — while working independently and seeking guidance only as needed. You'll also help shape the lab spaces themselves, adapting layout and equipment as designs change, and you'll begin sharing that expertise with teammates as the team grows. This is an R&D focused position covering the full range of hardware development lab support — assembly, troubleshooting, testing, equipment upkeep, and documentation — so expect the day-to-day to shift as project needs change. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities Work independently on ambiguous problems, seeking guidance from peers or management as needed Partner directly with design engineers to iterate hardware quickly, optimize manufacturability, and qualify hardware for space Support hardware through the full development arc — initial prototyping, development builds, testing, and rigorous qualification testing Troubleshoot complex hardware and test setup issues, driving problems to root cause Mechanical and electrical assembly of various spacecraft mechanisms Engineer and adapt lab spaces and equipment to meet evolving customer needs, keeping labs clean, organized, and functioning well for their intended purpose, including tracking equipment calibrations Design and build custom test fixtures, tooling, and automation equipment to support test and build needs Develop and maintain clear engineering documentation, including work instructions, build notes, and test reports Estimate schedule and resource requirements for lab engineering tasks Help train and cross-train teammates on lab equipment, tools, and processes Identify and help implement lab process improvements Familiarity with aerospace/space quality standards for mechanical and electrical components About the team The Amazon Leo Development Operations (DevOps) team builds and maintains the labs and hardware infrastructure that let engineering teams design, prototype, and test satellite hardware quickly. We support projects from first prototype through qualification testing, and our team members cross-train across assembly, test, and lab equipment so we can flex to wherever the work is needed. Priorities shift fast as designs evolve, and you'll often move between projects to keep pace with what engineering teams need next. We take pride in keeping our labs and equipment in excellent shape, and we hold ourselves to a high standard because the hardware we build and test directly impacts what makes it to space.

The devops job market is concentrated. India has 1,433 open roles, Poland has 560, and the US has 432. If you're based elsewhere or willing to relocate, knowing where the volume is helps you focus your search instead of applying blind.

Three-quarters of the ads are written in English—3,280 out of 4,658. This tells you about the ad itself, not whether the role requires you to speak English on the job. Check each posting carefully for language expectations.

A handful of employers are hiring hard right now. FullStack has 69 open devops positions, Link Group has 57, Upvanta has 36, and FlexBoard has 28. If you're building a target list, these four are worth researching deeply—they're actively scaling.

When you interview, expect questions about your incident response process. Hiring managers want to know how you've handled a real outage: what monitoring alerted you, what you did first, and what you'd do differently next time. Prepare a story with those three pieces.
